BROGAN REPEALER OF
FILING FFF GOES IN
StnfT ( 'orreepondent.
STATE HOI SR. DOVER, He!..
Jan. 12.—Representative Brogan, of
Wilmington, introduced in the
House this morning a bill to nholish
the >3 filing fee in the act to pro
for school purpose».
There promises to he some spirited
fighting over the flr.ng.fe** propos:
lion before anything definitely
done, although both partie« advo-fjj
* rated its repeal in the party plat
forms last year. Some members are
of the opinion that it is a good
* thing and that all that should he
done is to change the name of th?
tax and the method of collection.
* Others,' while believing that it
should he abolished in accordance
with their party platforms, feel that
vide revenue
< so m-» p an should be worked out to
raise revenue to take It.« place be
fore the filing fee low is repealed.
* Still others advocate repealing it at
once and then trying to devise a
plan for raising revenue to take its
place.
If the demand of the Democrat*
in both branche* of iho Legislature
for detailed information a« to em
ployes and salaries continues to
grow, the various State depart
ment*. it is suggested, should sus
pend all other business for a few
days and furnish
port to the Legislature t
of the question finally.
Although the State Board of Edu
cation recently issued
a statement
giving iho officers and sauries paid
under the .«tale Board of Education,
Representative Cray introduced a
House resolution this morning. which
most minute re
dispose
was adopted by the House, calling
for more detailed Information as to
claries of superintendents, teachers.
